This was something that happened yesterday.
I just need a place to have it out.

Family Roles

Time is passing and you're still not home.
The absence of mom too, makes me worry.
Something might happened. I didn't want to think.
So I sat on the couch, staring at my feet and wait.
Just wait.

Mother came back and I told her of my worry.
She smiled.
A tale she told about my father at work. A frown.
Not long, he came back; he looked just the same.
Smiling and carrying an infant in his arms.
Hugging him, I said hello and he beamed.
Excusing himself to talk to mom, I walked out of the room.
Fast, but not fast enough to hear:

Today is one of the worst office days of my life.

And this is the man who hid it all,
Just to give his children some faith.
This is the one who stood up for what he wanted,
Be brave and put his family before him.
He was the father who's a man of few words,
But gave us protection aplenty.

And this is me, the daughter of that man,
feeling his hardships throughout.
I closed the gate,
And locked the door;
And protect him from the world.
